TIPS FOR USING AMIGO
Tips for Conserving the Battery
• When not using unit for an prolonged period of
time, remove the battery to extend battery life. The
battery will slowly lose its charge while inside the
Amigo.
• To maximize total battery time, charge both batteries
by using either the internal or external chargers.
(see page 9 or 16). Keep a spare battery charging
in the external charger at all times for future use.
Note: Never allow the battery to completely drain.
Tips for Using Amigo
Amigo works best when placed directly on desired
material. This allows you to change viewing modes
and magnification with ease. Tilting the Amigo allows
you to view images at a comfortable angle. When
viewing objects "on-the-go", hold the object close to
the camera for clearer images. (see Figure 1 & 2)

TROUBLESHOOTING
No Power:
1. Make sure that both contact pins in the battery
compartment are visible. (see Figure 1) The pins
should protrude out of the housing to make proper
contact with the battery terminals.
2. Make sure the battery is charged and correctly
inserted into the unit. (see page 9 or 16)
3. Press the power button for more than 1 second and
the Amigo should turn on.
4. If the power does not turn on when using the battery,
try using the Amigo with the power supply (see Using
Amigo with Power Supply on page 10). In this case, it
is most likely that the battery needs to be charged.
Amigo Green Light is blinking:
If the green indicator light is blinking fast, then the battery
is very low. Charge the battery by plugging the Amigo
power supply into an AC wall outlet
(see page 9) Note: The indicator
light will continue to blink slowly
while charging, but will turn off when
the battery has fully charged.
Unit turns OFF suddenly:
1. Make sure that both contact pins
in the battery compartment are
visible (see Figure 1).
Figure 1
2. Make sure the battery is charged and correctly
inserted into the unit.

TROUBLESHOOTING
3. Make sure the correct power supply is plugged into
the Amigo. (see page 7, item 12)
4. Press the power button for more than 1 second and
the Amigo should turn on.
Images are too dark:
If a picture is present on the display but excessively dim
while using Color mode, check the lights under the unit
underbody. A bright, white light should clearly be visible. If
no bright light is visible underneath, your unit may require
service. Please contact Enhanced Vision technical support.
Images are blurry/distorted:
1. This is usually caused by finger prints or dirt on the
glass underneath the unit. Make sure the glass is
cleaned with a lens cleaning cloth. Use the cleaning
cloth or a cotton swab only when needed.
2. Hold or place Amigo directly on the target material that is to be read. Amigo is designed to be in focus
when positioned on the target material.
3. If using the Writing Stand, some level of blurriness is unavoidable. Only use the writing stand for
applications requiring your handwriting and at
minimum magnification. Resume normal use without
the writing stand whenever possible.
20
Chapter 8 Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING
Controls do not respond:
1. This may be caused by a stuck button. Make sure
that none of the thumb wheels are stuck between two
different positions. When turning a wheel, a different
effect should be felt.
2. Check that the FREEZE button can clearly be
depressed. A distinct click feeling should be felt.
The Battery does not charge inside the Amigo:
Make sure the Amigo Power Supply is used with the unit.
Verify that the battery is properly inserted. The LED on the
Amigo should be blinking if the battery is not full. Amigo
will recharge batteries which are either fully or
partially depleted. Fully charged batteries will not be
recharged until their level is low enough. Should you
continue to have difficulty charging the battery inside the
Amigo, try charging the battery in the external charger
instead, preferably overnight. It is not possible to cause
damage by "overcharging" a battery.
Amigo does not remember the last settings used:
Amigo will remember the last settings used when the
power is shut OFF with the POWER button. If the battery
runs too low and the Amigo shuts off automatically, then
the unit may not save the last settings into memory.
Picture is not moving:
Check to make sure the FREEZE button is not engaged.
A click feeling should be clearly felt when depressed. The
FREEZE button must be pressed for at least 1 second.
Chapter 8 Troubleshooting
21
TROUBLESHOOTING
The LCD Swivel is loose and closes on the unit:
If this ever happens, use a small Phillips screwdriver to
adjust the swivel tension (see page 13).
Unit is warm:
Amigo integrates a battery charger and a powerful camera
processing unit. It is normal for the unit to become warm
during use. This does not pose a safety risk.
There seems to be a “delay” when moving the unit or
using the writing stand:
A slight delay in use is normal. When using the writing
stand, proceed writing slowly on the target material.
Problems viewing Amigo on a TV:
1. Plug one end of the 6-foot VIDEO-OUT Cable to the yellow VIDEO-IN jack on the back or front of your TV
2. Plug the other end into the VIDEO-OUT jack on the Amigo.
3. Use your TV remote control and press the button
associated with changing the video input source. For
most remote controls, the button for selecting the
input source will be labeled with one of the following:
• TV/Video, Auxiliary or AUX, EXT or External 1/2/3,
• Video, Video 1, Video 2 or Video 3
• Input, Input 1, Input 2 or Input 3
If you are still having problems, refer to your TV manual to
find the section “Video Mode” or "Input/Source Select".

The Amigo video magnifier is designed to enlarge and
enhance images to improve the lives of people who
have low vision. The extent to which Amigo can
improve the ability to see images and text depends on
a person's individual condition and level of visual
impairment. Amigo is not designed to restore vision,
correct eye conditions or halt degenerative vision loss.
An Eye Care professional can best determine the
suitability of Amigo for a patient's specific condition.
